Struggling to get down as much as I'd like but most things are looking healthy apart from my climbing beans, seem poor compared to last season -
Worked in the poly tunnel most the day trying to catch up, using the capillary matting again but only on tomatoes and cucumbers, peppers and chillies will just sit in normal pots and see how I get on as I don't think they liked been damp all the time Traded a few eggs for a climbing courgette plant which needs to go in, anyone grew one as I didn't thing you got climbing ones and if you have are they worth it. Last year was my first year and I grew all sort for the sake of growing this year I want to use my space wisely

Had a few afternoons on the new plot getting a few raised beds in, thinking of trying the no dig method Anyone tried it and if it works what did you use

Just want it finished now, been too long trying to get it done juggling work, dogs,birds, allotment and family

Concrete pour was booked last week but noticed I cracked my bottom drain so had to replace it and reschedule the pour Lucky I spotted it as would of had to dig it all out again Concrete was a killer pushing up the ramp but last of my big jobs completed just need to sort Fiberglass and filters out

Old boys left his plot next to me so snapped it up the weekend, just got mine somewhere near and got it all to do again, be worth it though when I get it up to scratch

Fair play to you that's a big old pond for 2/3 carp
-
Just worked out your pond and it is 12460 gallons (56693 litres ) that's some serious filters and pump you would need, it's recommended you turn over your pond at least once every two hours I personally try around once an hour but that's just me If you google pond calculator it will give to pump, liner and filter sizes before you start
-
It all depends on what type of pond you want and what type of fish you want to keep My pal has about a 10ft by 3ft deep wildlife pond which has just little black box filter and a pump, he has around 10 medium size fish loads of plants and he's happy with seeing his fish now and again in murky water when he feeds them I keep koi and like to see my fish swimming round so I would recommend a bottom drain into a good quality filter pumped back to the pond through a UV light but that's just my preference Anyone can keep fish but for them to thrive and grow its all about water quality and the ri

I have thought about doing the Fiberglass myself as I've been watching videos on YouTube and seen in in selco fairly cheap, I am using a 25mm celotex board against the block work and concrete for insulation and to act as a damp course plus I've got 2x 2" pond returns and the bottom drain to Fiberglass round so that's why I was going to get someone in for piece of mind, the last thing I want is the pond leaking when I've got my fish in there, plus I've save a load doing the rest of the work myself I'm in Birmingham if you fancy doing it, I will buy all the gear and we can sort a price out I

I bow down to your superior loading skills
-
I have owned this gun for about 7 or 8 years and never had an issue until I changed the magazine, strange that others on hear have also had similar issues as me, we can't all be knob jockeys who don't know how to load a gun
-
I have taken the gun to a different shop over the weekend and he still had some of the old style magazines. Bought one took it home and shot around 30 odd pellets through it without an issue so it must have been the other magazine I had previously bought
-
Ready for concrete in the pond and filter area built just need more dry days
-
My pal has an R10 and they look the same, anyone know for deffinate that they are
-
I only knock a few maggies down here and there so was thinking of getting HW97 so I don't have to mess about getting the gun charged I will try a new magazine but If anyone wants a swap let me know because this is driving me mad
-
I have a super ten carbine, think its a mark 2. I have not used it for a couple of years so decided to get it checked out, new magazine and seal on the bottle changed at my local shop When I went to use a week later I loaded the gun and after about 4 or 5 shots the magazine jammed I took it back to the shop and he told me I had 2 pellets stuck in the barrel, he got them out and asked me what pellets I shoot with as it could be the pellets I was using, I couldn't remember but knew I had them years so I bought some air arms Diablo field When I went home I loaded the gun and it happened again,

Gaz I've had a pair of the same boots now for 2 seasons and they were grade 1 and they've served me well Bit stiff for digging but for the same price I bought the hiax to use, if there good enough for the military then there good enough for anything

Do you keep koi or a just a mix fresh water fish

In an time when we need to make the most of been white and proud of our country she is one of the last things we can actually celebrate without been called racist by all the do gooders I remember the jubilee when street parties and everyone uniting, imagine that now no one gives a f**k and that's why the country's f****d The Muslims are getting stronger because they stick together but we don't and that is why England's on its knees You all moan about it yet do nothing about it and slag off what is the most English thing we have GOD SAVE THE QUEEN

I was going to but the price on a descent liner is £450 so got a quote on Fiberglass and works out just under a grand Seems a lot but at least I've got piece of mind and won't need to replace the liner at a later date, I made a lot of mistakes on my first pond so I don't want to be building another one because I'm not happy with it a a later date

What filters are you using on the pond
-
Few more, finished the bird room up the top, put 3 ton of topsoil over the back of the pond and hardcored the bottom of the pond ready for concrete
